CF4 Candy Former

The CF4 candy former is at the heart of the candy processing line and has therefore been designed with strength and durability as its main assets. A substantial cast iron frame supports the drive, candy feed rollers, die head and the integral conveyor/spreader discharge.
The candy former has a number of features, which make it an ideal choice for candy manufacturers.

Die rotation speed is variable by AC Inverter
The speed of the infeed rollers can be varied relative to the speed of the die, which is particularly useful for difficult

products like chewy candy
The main drive is through timing belts to reduce noise level and moving parts
Spreader conveyor motor is independent and adjustable
Integral fan to force air to the spreader conveyor, die and candy feed rollers
Scrap tray under the die with outlet for connection to a dust extraction unit
Spring loaded one piece pressure cam with cam rollers (optional pneumatic control)
Automatic lubrication to cams and bearings
Automatic matrix ring pressure relief to reduce die wear
Fast die removal by use of clamps and sliding pull back cams
Overhead crane feature to allow easy removal of die front cover
